first appearance in the mouth of the southern feed- 

 ers of the lake, and around its shores, as soon as the 

 ice has disappeared, they rise to large lures, such as 

 salmon flies tied upon number 4 and number 5 

 hooks. The brown hackle, the professor, the 

 grizzly king, and the queen of the water in large 

 sizes will also be found useful at this time. 



The fishing usually commences in the Grande 

 Decharge about the i oth or i 2th of June, and con-

 Decharge as those mentioned above for the earli- 

 est spring fishing. They should be reduced in size, 

 however, as the water grows clearer and lower, 

 and the temperature of both the air and the water 

 becomes higher. In the latter part of July the 

 ouananiche has become an epicure. He wants 

 the daintiest of flies, and wants them in small sizes
